Your foundation's integrity relies heavily on the soil it rests upon. In Richmond, properties are often built on clay soil, which can swell significantly during periods of heavy rainfall, averaging around 48 inches annually. This swelling can push foundations out of alignment, and as the soil dries, it contracts, leading to further shifts and potential damage. Homeowners should be vigilant for signs such as wall cracks, settlement, and floor gaps. FSS provides innovative solutions, including pier systems and support jacks, to safeguard your foundation from these adverse effects.
Foundation repair requires a deep understanding of the local soil and environmental factors that can impact a home's foundation. The clay soils in Richmond can create conditions that lead to substantial movement and instability in foundations due to moisture changes. FSS is dedicated to offering effective and lasting repair solutions tailored to the unique challenges posed by the local soil, ensuring the safety and longevity of your home.
